. Shocking news

'A few minutes before.

After the sidekicks arrived, Kenji gave the orders to storm the bank and arrest everyone in there.

The sidekicks of Kamui Woods stormed the bank, but they were surprised when they found nobody in there, all that they discovered were the corps of the guards drowning in their blood, they were shocked by the gruesome sight, and some cops even vomited in the spot, when Kenji saw that scene, his face paled and his body shook violently, even tho there were a lot of villains in this world and he dealt with most of them in different cases, he didn't remember seeing anything like this before.

"What kind of monster did this, this is unforgivable" Said Kenji with an absolute shock on his face, then he came to a realization.

'since there is no one here that means the one that escaped is the only one responsible for this massacre, shit Kamui might be in danger when this realization hit Kenji he knew that he did a great mistake to assume that there were many involved in this robbery, he quickly turned around and was about to order the sidekicks to rush to help Kamui capture the villain, he also wanted to call for the help of other agencies but he didn't have the time to issue this order because all the people here heard a sky-piercing scream from far away.

"AAAAAAAGH" the scream of Kamui was so high and painful to the point it reached their ears.

Kenji and sidekicks had paled faces and they felt their backs drenched in a cold sweat.

"Shit, the sidekicks go and help Kamui at once, the others split, some of you manage the crime scene, the others retrieve the footage from the surveillance cameras" shouted Kenji as he ordered everyone, he then left the bank with the sidekicks and headed toward the source of Kamui's scream.

when they arrived there, the sidekicks fell on their knees, sobbing and crying, they watched their leader lay in there in a pool of his blood, beheaded, there was also a bloody machete there and a creepy mask.

Kenji's expression turned ugly, not only from the scene but because he knew the consequences when this piece of news gets disclosed to the media, not every day you read in the news about the fall of a pro hero, especially one of Kamui Woods caliber.

He knew that since the rise of the symbol of peace ALL MIGHT, the villains lay low profile, they didn't dare to do anything outrageous because ALL MIGHT would capture them in the blink of an eye.

This era, the ALL MIGHT era was an era of peace, but the fall of Kamui Woods will encourage the villains, and the public order might start to crumble, the citizens of Musutafu city will feel fear, the image of the mighty peacekeepers known as 'the pro heroes' will crumble, and the villains will grow balls to face the heroes and wreak havoc in the city.

'This is a nightmare, first, we have the heroes killer Stain in Hosu city, and now another one emerged here in Musutafu city, things might turn out to be ugly in the upcoming days, and chaos will spread in the city, we need to retaliate quickly to prevent that from happening' thought Kenji inwardly with ugly expression, his dog's teeth were crushing against each other.

"Chief Kenji, I need to see the face of our leader's murderer" said one of the sidekicks with teary eyes, but there was also hatred in them.

"I understand, the villain must have escaped by now, there is no point in standing here, I will have my men examine the scene to find some evidence, meanwhile let's return and see the footage" said Kenji as all of them went back, leaving some cops behind to examine the crime weapon and the creepy mask.

_________o&______

Reno left the stage long ago, after taking multiple dark alleys and different roads to prevent his pursuers from tracking his path, he finally managed to reach the house.

upon entering he fell to the ground while holding his left side where his ribs were broken, and coughed a mouthful of blood.

Shiho who didn't sleep and was waiting for him to come back anxiously was first relieved when she saw him, but then she was scared shitless when she saw him fall, she quickly got to his side and bent down to help him.

"What the hell happened to you, why are injured, are you okay, do you need to go to the hospital..." Shiho was panicking and kept asking question after question, she didn't know what to do, for the current her, it was like seeing your reason for life fading away.

"Calm down, go and prepare me an ice bath" said Reno calmly as he stood up.

Seeing him standing and talking calmly Shiho regained her composure, she quickly went to prepare the ice bath.

Reno threw away the bags and stripped naked, he walked to the mirror and saw himself, his left side where his ribs were was bluish and bruised.

'Even tho I trained this body at an early age, I still didn't train my pain endurance, but now that I have the money all left to do is buy some types of equipment and a secluded house, I will need 2 years to reach my peak, by then no matter if it's a pro hero or a villain I will be immune to pain, and the injuries will not hinder my movements in the battles' though Reno inwardly, he then was pulled away from his thoughts when he heard Shiho call him.

"your ice bath is ready"

Reno walked to the bathroom, Shiho wanted to enter with him but he waved her off.

"I need to be alone for some time" said Reno.

"At least tell me what happened to you, I was so worried about you, and seeing you in this state makes me nervous" replied Shiho, she didn't want to leave his side now, she was like a leech clinging to him tightly.

"go and watch the news, you will understand what happened" said Reno as he slammed the door and lock it, he then proceeded to the ice bath and dived in.

Reno's Body shivered, cold assaulted him from everywhere but he clenched his teeth and bared the frosty feeling.

'It has been a long time since I felt pain, but I'm sure that idiot who sacrificed his life for some bags of money he didn't even own felt a lot more pain when I pierced his eyes' said Reno grudgingly, he then stopped thinking and just focused on recovering.

Outside the bathroom, Shiho went back to her room and turned the TV on.

she watched as a beautiful reporter waw stating some urgent news she seemed uncomfortable doing so.

"We have a breaking news, a robbery took place at the central bank, police thought that there were multiple suspects but in the end, it turned out that the robbery was conducted by a single person, the villain killed all the 11 guards who were keeping watch at night, when the villain escaped he was chased by the pro hero Kamui Woods, but unfortunately the villain turned out to be strong and the hero died while fighting him, I repeat the hero Kamui Woods was killed by the villain who then escaped, we have put a hand on the footage of the crime but due to the gruesome scene we can't show it, all we can show is the face of the villain" said the reporter with an aggrieved look on her face then a picture of Reno was shown before he smashed the cameras.

"The villain is extremely dangerous, we don't have any information about him, he used a machete to commit his crimes, we don't know anything about his quirk yet if any of the citizens saw him, please remember to keep a safe distance from him and call the police or the heroes to deal with him, now we take a look at some of the families of the victims-"

Shiho turned down the TV when she saw a young girl crying, her father was one of the guards who was murdered by Reno.

Shiho gulped and her back was drenched in sweat, it turned out that while she was still home sniffing drugs and daydreaming about Reno being romantic to her, he was actually robbing a bank, killing innocent people, and even managed to kill a pro hero, this was outrageous especially since he is only 12 years old.

Shiho didn't belong to the heroes, but she didn't belong to the villains either, she only cared about being high, she never killed or robbed before in her life, Reno's actions made her suck in cold air, she was now more afraid that they will arrest him if that happens, not only she will be back to be alone, but she will spend the rest of her life alone in a small cell.

Shiho was pulled away from her train of thoughts when she heard the door of the bathroom open, she saw Reno walking toward her and she became instantly nervous.

"Did you have to do this" asked Shiho in a low tone.

"what do you mean by that?" replied Reno while drying his hair with a towel.

"I mean all the chaos you have caused, why did you go there and killed so many people, we might be arrested" shouted Shiho as she glared at Reno, she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in prison.

Reno stopped and looked at her coldly.

"Don't you know why I did this?! it's all for your sake, how the hell do you want to pay your debt in the upcoming days if I didn't rob this bank?!"

"huh!" Shiho was startled, even tho she saw the news, she didn't have the time to process all the information, because everyone who saw the news will focus more on the falling of the pro hero and the massacre, so when she recalled the news, she remembered that all of this started because of the robbery, she looked toward the bags and one of them was opened slightly, she saw a pile of cash there.

"You disappointed me Shiho" Shiho quickly turned toward Reno when she heard these words, she saw a look of disdain in his eyes.

"I was out there fighting for my life to set you free from your troubles, I had to kill innocent people, I even killed a pro hero, I was injured and bruised for your sake, but I didn't regret any of it because all of this was for you, but in the end, the first thing you say to me is this bullshit?!" Reno kept looking at the startled Shiho with disdain.

"It's okay, I'm a man of my word, since I promised to help you I will fulfill my promise, after that, I will disappear from your life since you are so afraid to be caught" said Reno as he turned around to leave.

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured on Shiho, she quickly realized the situation and regretted her reaction, even tho she realized that her problems will be solved soon, she didn't feel happy at all, her heart shrink at the idea of Reno leaving her, she quickly runs toward him and wrapped her arms around him tightly from behind.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, I was out of my mind, there is no way I will live without you, I don't care about my problems anymore I just want to be with you" said Shiho while crying like a little girl whose lollipop was taken away from her.

"let go of me" muttered Reno with a low voice.

"no, there is no way I'm letting you go" said Shiho while squeezing him more tightly.

"let go of me you dumb woman, you are crushing my injured ribs" screamed Reno, his eyes popped out and his face turned red from the pain, even Kamui Woods's hits were not as painful as Shiho's squeeze.

Shiho was indeed a crazy woman, Reno was sure of that now.
